Great Thread!

The LT1 is a small notch in GM history. This prevents it from being mainstream. When i first drove my LT1 camaro eight years ago, I Fell in love with the power and sound of the engine.

I could upgrade to a LSX engine, but why not stick with what we know and enjoy. I find it great to own the older "underdog" engine, spent money on the right components, and then wax somone in a LSX car or a stang. Yes ultimately you need patience with the engine, and you do have an uphill battle in the power wars but...

This is what makes victory so enjoyable!

 

I'f everyone who posted and half of the people who looked at this post sent Rick a Email,mabey he will get the message that LT1 owners are out there and LOVE these cars. So keep sending your thoughts to Him.

 

^Exactly. Just because alot of you canceled your subscriptions doesn't mean you can't send an email telling him exactly that. Then when they start running more LT1 stuff you can resubscribe.

 

I sent my car in when they were asking for fast setups for the least amount of money. I heard nothing from them even though I was the fastest NA 6 speed at the time and did it with a stock crank and factory heads. Car was not stripped and was driven on the street and ran/raced on pump gas. Had a nice stock appearance outside and in if you overlook the big/littles and the tach. I will send them another email reguarding their coverage of the lt1 but I don't expect it to do anthing.

 

Thanks to everyone for posting and especially if you sent Rick a Email, we will see if it makes a differance in the Mag. over the next months.

 

Is that mag still only 6 issues a year?

 

No, Its a full year now.

 

It still looks like an advertisers endorsement publication. I realize they need advertisers to make it all happen, but more feature cars would be nice (not only the mega-thousand dollar build-ups either), as would an even balance of relevant & objective technical articles.

 

Yeah, it does seem like they only have uber expensive builds in there and no "regular guy" feature cars (clean bolt-on setups or cam only/heads/cam stuff that runs well). Also, they just installed two aftermarket rear ends, and, "SHOCK", both cars were LS1 F-bodies. Hell I'd settle for bringing back the LS2 Vette they started building.
